~ Crabby Quilt for Sale + More! ~

Having had my Etsy Shop for about 6 months now, I have decided that it's time to sell more than just quilt patterns.

I have decided to sell some quilts.
I will put up one quilt per week onto my Shop.

On that same week, (the first week only) I will offer that same pattern for a whopping 50% off!
(No discount coupon needed.)

I sold some quilts last year after being contacted through Etsy by interested buyers and decided that I (gulp) could indeed part with (most of) them.

But because I am so attached to these "children" of mine, I'm putting them out there ...
one by one.

(Not all of them will be available for purchase.  I'm not selling the ones I have hanging in my home.)

The first one up for sale is this baby ... "Feelin' Crabby". Her name is so ironic because she induces nothing but cheerfulness.

So check out the Sales and the Discounts over at my Shop.

I promise you'll be Feelin' Fabulous!

~ One Year Thanks and ... Discounts ~

So ... my one year anniversary of the launch of this ...  my Sea Quilts blog ... falls this weekend.

One year ago, I put up the (above) picture of my "Thar She Blues" quilt and asked you to be my friend.

You agreed and we pretty much lived happily ever after.

The happiest part of this adventure was becoming your friend and (thank you linky parties) seeing hundreds of your blogs and ideas and photos and ... fun. I can claim friends all over the world that I did not know one year ago. 

Isn't this an amazing world we live in that makes that possible??!

I spent most of this year sewing my brains out and 3 months ago launched my Etsy Shop where I am selling the patterns to the quilts and pillows that have consumed my time ... and brains.

In thanks, I would like offer a discount to those blog friends who stop by to check it out this coming week. (If you saw this here today ... you are my friend!)

Just enter the Discount Code:

blog1birthday

and you will receive 20% off any of the patterns ... and even the completed pillows.

Thanks for your support and friendship.

(Now ... shouldn't a birthday involve cake?)
